I had it pegged for a 1st gen, but that's even better!

I'm guessing your r6 mc is radial like mine, if so did you bleed it  at the mc nipple, or at the mc banjo either way

Try the zip-tie-the-lever-to the-grip-overnight trick -some have reported it works...  Can't hurt.

Wasted 3 hours so far on the way that works most all the time....going to get the vacuum bleeder...Damm it was going so well too...lol

You'll want to put a small wrap of Teflon tape around the bleeder threads - other wise you will suck in air through the threads and won't be nearly as effective.

BE CAREFUL none of the Teflon tape is below the first thread so none can tear lose and get into the brake system!  I've never had an issue, but suppose it could happen...
